MIXING-SOON.

Specification of Letters Eatent.

' Patented April 21, 1908.

Application filed April 13. 1905. Serial No. 311,578.

To all whom it 'ma/y cof/wem:

Be it known that l, ALONZO NV. CRAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at lleverhill, in the county of Essex and State el' Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Mixing-Spoons, of which the following is a specification, relerence being had therein te the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to improvements in mixing spoons.

The object ol my invention is to provide a niixing-spoon of this character which provided with blades or lingers set at an angle to the body of the spoon and causing a greater agitation of thematcrial being mixed.

Another object ol my invention is to provide a more simple, cheap and effective mixing spoon of this character.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l, is a perspective 'view oil my improved Ymixing sgioon.` Fig. L, is a side elevation ol Fig. l.

ig. 3, is a top plan view of'another lorin of mixing spoon embodying my invention. Fig. 4, is a top plan view ol a still further modilication embodying my invention.

Referring now to the'drawings, l repreoortion of myimproved mixbeing approximately T he bowl 1s proform and the contour that of an ordinary spoon.

Ivided with the usual handle 2 arranged with the ofi-set S, and at one sido the bowl is provided with a series of curved blades Ll, the said curve being the saine as the remainder oi' the bowl. The seid blades are gradually twisted longitudinally thereof and start at the inner end 5 where the blades are connected to the bowl of the spoon. The twist oi the blai'les is such that the outer ends t5 are at an angle of about forty-live degrees with the howl, and the said outer ends are vin line to forni a curve to correspond with the edge 7 of the bowl. The blades all start at a point ap proximately in a line extending longitudinal the bowl, and thus the blades gradually de crease in lenvth from the center of the bowly towards eacli end. The blades beine set at en angle as shown,

l l l l l l'orm the inclined slots 8 between the same, and during the mixing or heating action the material being beaten or Amixed is caused vto travel upward over the inclined blades, and thus is more thoroughly beaten or mixed.

In Fig. 3 l have shown a modification in which the blades 9 are formed in the center el the bowl, and extend transverse thereof adjacent each odge, the vaction ol' theblade on the material being the torni shown 1n Fig. 1.

same as that of the ln Fig. 4, instead of having the blades extend transverse the bowl, the blades 1() extend longitudinally of verse of the bowl and curved to correspond l l l l l l l l l l I l with the bowl, and having free outer ends, said blades set at an angle thereto longitudinally ol their length.

7 A mixing spoon,

o. comprising a bowl, blades formed therein and extending transverse of rthe bowl and curved to correspond with the bowl, said blades set at an angle Ythereto longitudinally ol' their length, and

their outerends in a curved line corresponding with that oi' the outer side of the bowl.

2l. A mixing spoon, comprising a bowl, llailes formed therein and extending transverse of the bowl and having their outer free ends in a curved liuc corresponding with that of the other side ol the bowl, said blades of a curvature to correspond with the bowl and twisted longitudinally thereof.

In testimony whereof l ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
